2 Icon Requests #63

Closed chrishrtmn closed 10 years ago

First off, love the icon font set. Both my requests regard the ASL category.

For the ASL icon you have, the sign used is the ASL letter for "Y". For California surfers, it'd probably mean "gnarly" ha.

Could you create a new icon font (or update the "Y" one) based on the official ASL sign?

Another icon I'd really like would be the ASL sign for "I love you".

Thanks! I didn't realize that... I'll try to get the official ASL symbol right. What worries me though is that it's a really complex sign! So in smaller sizes it won't be really easy to distinguish... I'll try to make this work but I can't make any promises. Under normal circumstances I'd chop a finger or something to make it more minimal and easier to make out, but in this case I don't think that's going to be a choice! Do you have in mind anything that will be simpler yet universally identifiable?

Thanks for the reply! You made a good point about the size issue for the ASL sign as it does seem a bit big.

I think the "I love you" hand sign would be a great alternative to both the "Y" and ASL sign as it's universally identifiable to me and likely the Deaf/ASL community. You'd just add the forefinger to the "Y" icon to achieve this. Is that something you think you could do?

Looks like the update happened in commit 81dc90f, you rock! Looks great.
